Family Inclusion Worker

Waythrough launched in October 2024 following the merger of Humankind and Richmond Fellowship. Our vision is to break down the barriers that stop people getting the support they need to live a life they value. We tackle poverty and disadvantage in communities, through mental health, drug and alcohol, housing and related support.

We have almost 200 services around England - and nearly 3,500 amazing staff and volunteers who run them. Every year our services support around 125,000 people.

Bringing together two big organisations is not a small task and it'll take a while to fully integrate our systems, processes and approaches. That's why you will notice the jobs here are still branded 'Humankind'. Next year we'll be fully integrating our recruitment systems but for now they are separate.

Family Inclusion Worker
Location: Barnsley
Contract: Permanent - Full Time

Are you passionate about supporting individuals who are impacted by a loved one's substance use? Do you want to make a real difference in people's lives during challenging times?

We are looking for a compassionate and proactive Concerned Other Worker to join our team.

In this rewarding role, you will provide tailored 1:1 and group interventions to support individuals affected by someone else's substance use.

As a Family Inclusion Worker, you will be responsible for:

• Assess the needs of family members and loved ones, and develop tailored support plans.
• Promote the service internally, externally, and within local communities.
• Carry out outreach activities to raise awareness and engage those in need of support.

Please note this role may require some evening work due to the nature of the role.

About you
To succeed as a Concerned Other Worker you will ideally be:

• Empathetic and non-judgmental with excellent communication skills.
• Experience in delivering support services or interventions (preferred but not essential).
• Able to work independently and as part of a supportive team.
